Maddie's® Spay/Neuter Project
The Alabama Veterinary Medical Association (ALVMA) administers Maddie's® Spay/Neuter Project to increase spay/neuter surgeries and reduce shelter intakes. Currently, the ALVMA has enlisted 26 veterinary hospitals to provide spay/neuter surgeries to low-income county residents. The cost of the surgery to owner/caregivers is $10 per cat and $20 per dog. Maddie's Fund is contributing between $30 and $120 per surgery, depending upon species and gender. ALVMA veterinarians participating in the program will contribute the remainder of the cost by reducing their fees to help more low-income pet owners spay/neuter their companion animals. Clients must show proof of low-income with a Medicaid card and there is a limit of six pets per household.
